I know the feeling. I found Volumes one and two on my porch deck in the same box. As always, I reached over and picked it up with one hand. Big mistake, sprained my wrist enough that I had trouble opening the box with a shaking hand to boot. I didn't expect it too be that heavy, true story. Because of my wrist problem it was an effort just leafing through the volumes glancing at the photos, most of which I'd never seen published. If could only keep one book of all the volumes I've purchased over 52 years it would be these two volumes!

keep reading as he is mentioned in July 44 missions as well as Moskito -jagd almost to the last page so he is included.

maybe it's just part of his stealthness

more on Kurt boy later ......... ♫

If you look at the pilot index on pages 395-399...on page 398 he has listing for mention on 15 different pages, Vol II there is less of him..4 pages as he had moved on. You will love the book! VOL II is Just as good, with a new cast of pilots moving through JG300!
This book was so well written and researched, I wish the Authors would tackle IV/JG3 in a simmular manner, however time has run out for this as most survivors have passed on. Oh Well.....

Re: JG 300 Wilde sau..vol 1
 

I understand the Prien book is very good, unfortunatly for me and many others it was released in German only, so I can't read it. My problem For sure! or has it ever been translated into English? I have never been able to find it if so....
And Yes, I conversed with Barry Smith about three weeks ago and he is still polishing his work up with plans for release in the next year or two. Sounds to be in depth and new stuff being found causing several re writes.
Now back to JG300. Have you found some of the info on Welter you were looking for Ronnybengt? And what are your impressions so far, I would bet you are deep into the work by now?

Re: JG 300 Wilde sau..vol 1
 

..there is more coverage of 10./JG 300 in Volume II - although most of Jorg Czypionka's contribution appears in the French edition only..

Re: JG 300 Wilde sau..vol 1

Hi Neil,

I'm sure there's a good reason why the English editions don't contain all the material found in the French ones -- could you please tell us why?

I'd also be interested in the differences between the French and upcoming English editions of Eric Mombeek's volumes on JG 2 and JG 4.

Thanks,
Leon Venter

Re: JG 300 Wilde sau..vol 1
 

... there was a certain amount of repetition and overlap between the various accounts..as I recall Cyzpionka's doesn't add anything to Mitterdorfer's long piece..
..as to the second question...I don't know what the final English versions will look like yet ..sorry

Re: JG 300 Wilde sau..vol 1
 

as Neil has said there is some excellent compilation of the 10th Nacht staffel origins before the transfer and make up of II./NJG 11. We will cover Mitty and Georgs story in more full length with some very interesting details of them, the men in the staffel and of course MR. Stealth Kurt W., and yes we have a pic of Kurts 109 besides Fw's

in any case go pick up the JG 300 volumes

Re: JG 300 Wilde sau..vol 1
 

Hi Neil,Thanks for the quick response. I already have both the JG 300 volumes in English, so I'm glad I won't have to buy the French ones too!

Not a problem. If you happen to receive any updates on Eric's JG 2 and JG 4 volumes in English, we'd greatly appreciate it if you could pass them along.

Regards,
Leon Venter
